Acts 1:15

ἀδελφῶν with אABC. μαθητῶν seems to have been introduced to avoid the occurrence of the same word in three consecutive verses. The Vulg. has ‘fratrum.’

15. ἡμέραις. The days which intervened between the Ascension and Pentecost.

Πέτρος. As in the Gospels, so here, Peter is always the moving spirit and speaker among the Apostles, till he drops out of the history and gives place to St Paul.

ἦν τε κ.τ.λ. This sentence is not well rendered in A.V. Better ‘and there was a crowd of persons [names] gathered together, about a hundred and twenty.’ On this use of ὀνόματα = persons, cf. Revelation 3:4, ‘Thou hast a few names even in Sardis, which have not defiled their garments.’
